Making the most out of visiting New Orleans-no matter who takes home the
win-will be easier than ever for Super Bowl XLVII fans, thanks to
tablets provided to Host Committee volunteers by Verizon Wireless (News - Alert).

Verizon provided more than 80 tablets to the Super Bowl XLVII Host
Committee to support volunteers with guiding, helping, directing and
entertaining fans visiting New Orleans for The Big Game on Feb. 3.
Equipped with 4G LTE (News - Alert) connectivity and specially-designed apps created
just for the occasion, the tablets will be deployed with volunteers
across the historic French Quarter and Central Business District.

This technology investment comes in advance of what is anticipated to be
a record-breaking wireless-data event, with consumers turning to social
media, mobile connectivity and live streaming on wireless devices to
communicate before, during and after The Big Game.

"We are thrilled to provide a connectivity solution to some of the most
important members of the Super Bowl XLVII team-the volunteers," said
Krista Bourne - president, Houston/Gulf Coast Region, Verizon Wireless.
"As the face of New Orlans to visitors, it is more important than ever
that our volunteers have technology and a network they can rely on for
the most anticipated sporting event in America."
